Hell Is for Heroes
World War II drama where the action centers on a maneuver by a group of GIs in retaliation against the force of the Siegfried line. Reese joins a group of GIs suddenly ordered back on the way to some break area. Half dozen men are made to protect a front, while most of the men draw from their positions facing a pill box at the far side of a minefield. By ruses, they manage to convince the Germans that there is the force holding the position. Then Reese leads 2 of those men in an unauthorized and failed attack on the pill box, in which the two are killed. And when the platoon yields, he's threatened with court-martial. Rather that face the disgrace, and in an effort to show he had been right, he also makes a one man attack on the pill box.
